Lion's Mane

Compare every Lion's Mane product across UK retailers on Suppio, ranked by true value - price per active dose, not pack size. Prices refreshed daily.

Medicinal mushroom supporting nerve growth factor and cognitive function

We rank Lion's Mane by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

Lion's Mane is a type of medicinal mushroom. It is known for having neuroprotective properties, which means it helps protect the cells in the brain and nervous system from damage, and antioxidant properties, which help the body fight off harmful molecules called free radicals.

Why it's used

People use this supplement primarily for its potential to protect the brain and nervous system. However, it is worth noting that some research has shown that taking it as a supplement had no effect on mood or cognition, which is the mental process of acquiring knowledge and understanding.

How it's made

To create the supplement, the mushrooms are first grown in controlled environments. They are then dried and ground into a fine powder. This powder is either put directly into capsules or processed into an extract to concentrate the active ingredients before being packaged for sale.

What it typically costs

This ingredient is generally mid-range in price. This is because the mushrooms require specific growing conditions and a multi-step drying and grinding process, making it more expensive to produce than basic minerals but cheaper than rare, highly processed synthetic compounds.
